Abstract
A wire gate operational system providing remote opening and closing of a post and wire gate having a winch and cable assembly with a power source and an operational controller. A remote-control actuator provides long range remote operation to open and close the gate by controlled dropping and raising of the lead wire gate post by the winch. A bottom wire loop between a brace post and the lead wire post acts as a pivot point for the lead gate posts and interconnected directional end cut composite intermediate posts (dancers) allow for controlled wire gate lowering direction allowing ranchers and livestock to pass directly over the lower gate.
Claims3
An apparatus for remote fence gate operation comprising;
- a wire gate post assembly having a plurality of gate posts, some of said gate posts having contoured tapered end portions extending from a ground engagement end,
- a plurality of barb wire strands interlinking said gate posts together in spaced parallel longitudinal relation to one another, an electric energizer connected to the plurality of gate posts and the plurality of barbed wire strands,
- a live pivot hinge between a lead gate post and a primary brace post, said pivot hinge comprising a pinned wire loop extending about said lead gate post and said primary brace post adjacent the ground,
- a power cable winch in communication with said lead gate post, a source of independent power for said power cable winch, a remote-control transceiver and controller in communication with said power cable winch,
- a remote transmitter for wireless communication with said transceiver for activation of said power cable winch, said gate posts are made of resilient composite material.
